Going into my 3rd week of flower. Just cleaned up a few of the leaves on the underside of new leaves which died and dried out. Took some pics and noticed one was a bit odd. They don't look like male sacs but then again idk, stressed!?!? (First pic) Thoughts, opinions, suggestions are always welcome. I don't grow regularly but these are from some clones of higher grade stuff I decided to give a go. Peanut butter breath, wonderdog and afgahan something.

Can I still grab some clones from these seeing it isn't too far into flower?

i think you need to take cuts from activly growing tops, what you could do ,and ive done this, is when it comes to harvest time, leave a colaat the lower branches, then put it under 18/6 or 24 hrs of light, get it growing again and take cuts from those newly growing tips, so just reveg it after harvest

I heard that stresses it out a bit and can hermi it. I also heard that taking a lower cutting while early in flower will also work well and limit the hermi. Idk though.

Light is the most important factor when trying to get denser cannabis flowers because lights help cannabis plants produce sugars through the photosynthesis process which helps them grow,

The growing conditions also have a huge influence on bud density, cannabis plants thrive between 18-26°C and in relative humidity that starts at 70% and slowly decreases until it reaches around 45% during the last weeks of flowering.

If you fail to maintain optimal conditions, the buds will end up airy just like popcorn buds so it’s essential you ensure the growing conditions are constant and, if you need to, use equipment such as fans, heaters, or AC units to be able to do so.

How much are you feeding? Did the yellowing start at the top or the bottom?

Looks like overfeeding but no data

I haven't added nutes in over a week. I noticed yesterday that the tubes are getting a bit clogged and not pumping it around that well. I plan to pull some old water put and put in fresh with just some H2O2. Yellowing started toward the bottom.

If it started at the bottom she is hungry.and killing older leafs to survive

Had a bit of a pump issue. It was running but not pumping. Some areas took a hit but added water and fixed the pump. Circulation is happening again nicely and added a little h2o2. Running on just water for now and may add a small bit of nitrogen tomorrow. They have about 3 weeks left I guess

It seems that the water issue impacted the back two plants a lot more than what originally appeared. I am seeing some amber tricomes on the Afghan Kush so I will plan my harvest in the next week or so. Hoping that even though the others seemed to tldry up, I can harvest something from them even if it were for hash purposes. For the next grow I will need to have a more spaced out tubing setup and maybe include a secondary reservoir that will pump into the main. The system currently drains fine and recirculates but it's not perfect. I may also install a flow alarm so when tubes get clogged or something stops the flow, I can be alerted faster. I usually try not to enter the space daily just because I feel the air fluctuations and increased ability for bugs to enter the system isn't worth the need to see it daily. I also may plan vacations outside of this grow time. Always learning from each grow. Does anyone else feel I should leave these to fatten up a tad more?
